What does it do?

The chemical structure of tartrazine is similar to aspirin. So asthmatics & others with aspirin sensitivity are particularly prone to adverse reactions to products containing tartrazine.

In addition to this, it has been linked to quite a list of damaging and unpleasant reactions, including:

anxiety
eosinophilia (an increase in specific forms of white blood cells)
migraines
OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder)
clinical depression
hives
hyperactivity
asthma attacks
permanent DNA damage
sleep disturbances/insomnia
heart palpitations
blurred vision
rhinitis
eczema & other skin rashes
general all-over weakness
*thyroid cancer
hot flushes

E102 :-Tartrazine

FD&C Yellow No:5; CI Acid Yellow23, CI Food Yellow 4. Coal tar dye. Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon. Cancer probability. Known to provoke asthma attacks (though the US FDA** do not recognise this) and urticaria (nettle rash) in children (the US FDA** estimates 1:10 000), altered states of perception and behaviour, uncontrolled hyper agitation and confusion; wakefulness in young children. Is known to inhibit zinc metabolism and interfere with digestive enzymes. Tartrazine sensitivity is also linked to aspirin sensitivity; used to colour drinks, sweets, jams, cereals, snack foods, canned fish, packaged soups and a dye for wool and silk..
Banned in Norway, Austria and Finland. Restricted use in Sweden and Germany.

E102
Tartrazine, FD&C Yellow 5

A synthetic yellow azo dye found in fruit squash, fruit cordial, coloured fizzy drinks, instant puddings, cake mixes, custard powder, soups, sauces, ice cream, ice lollies, sweets, chewing gum, marzipan, jam, jelly, marmalade, mustard, yogurt and many convenience foods together with glycerin, lemon and honey products. It can also be found in the shells of medicinal capsules. It can also be used with E133 Brilliant Blue FCF or E142 Green S to produce various green shades e.g. for tinned processed peas.

It appears to cause the most allergic and/or intolerance reactions of all the azo dyes, particularly amongst those with an aspirin intolerance and asthmatics. Other reactions can include migraine, blurred vision, itching, rhinitis and purple skin patches, (because of this more use is now being made of E160b, Annatto). In conjunction with E210, Benzoic acid, tartrazine appears to create an overactivity in children and is one of the colours that the Hyperactive Children's Support Group recommends be eliminated from the diet of children.

Whilst being a very commonly used colour in the UK its use is banned in Norway and Austria.
